4. Fried Calamari

Why fry a perfectly good piece of squid? 90% of the time, it results in tentacles that have the consistency of tire tread. No, tossing seafood in flour and serving it with hearty marinara sauce does not cure all. LEAVE THE SQUID ALONE. Give it a quick sear, and get the hell out of the way.
